Matic

����𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗝𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗟., 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰🎉 Jose joined Matic in November 2023, bringing with him a deep-rooted passion for service built over years in the restaurant industry. From washing dishes at 16 to managing high-volume Phoenix favorites, Jose’s career has always been about the customer: “I’m a service-oriented person — now I'm actually able to affect real change in people's lives, and it absolutely makes me get up in the morning happy to be at work.” After initially joining Matic as an Inside Sales Representative (ISR) and moving to an Agent role, Jose was quickly tapped for Matic’s Retention Advisor (RA) program after only three months on the sales floor. That rapid transition to customer service was driven by a desire to help people navigate the complexities of insurance. “One of the main reasons I chose Matic was the training and the way everyone is promoted internally,” he explains. “You can tell when a company has a good culture immediately. Matic has a strong foundation from the top down, and Ben (our CEO) has done a fantastic job setting that up.” He recently worked with a customer facing a stressful cancellation. Jose provided her with a step-by-step plan to help the customer with the issue. The customer called back the next morning, moved to tears because Jose had calmed her fears and solved her problem. “I have opportunities to do that on every single phone call, and that's why I love this job.” Outside of the office, you’ll likely find Jose behind the drum kit his mom bought him at 17, either writing songs or rehearsing with his band. When he’s not keeping the beat, he’s a die-hard basketball fan, and you’ll find him watching any game at any time with any competitor.

Money.com recently published a helpful breakdown of the everyday expenses expected to climb this year — from streaming and dining out to insurance and beyond. It’s a helpful snapshot of how broader economic trends are showing up in real people’s wallets. One area the article touches on is home insurance, drawing on recent Matic research that shows continued premium increases and shifts in how homeowners are adjusting deductibles in response. If you’re watching how rising costs could affect your financial plan in 2026, this piece is worth a read: https://lnkd.in/e2ZFT-KH Thanks to Pete Grieve for featuring this research and helping bring greater clarity to how rising costs are impacting households.

New report 📝: Matic’s year-end trends and predictions report looks at how the market shifted in 2025 — and what those changes could mean for consumers and the housing market in 2026. A few key takeaways: ✔️ Premium growth is expected to remain more moderate in 2026, but insurance costs will stay historically high, continuing to pressure affordability 📉 ✔️ Climate risk will remain a primary driver of pricing and availability, with severe convective storms and regional weather events shaping outcomes across both coastal and inland states 🌪️ ✔️ Homeowners will continue to shoulder more risk, as higher deductibles and stricter property-level underwriting become more common 💸 ✔️ Coverage availability should improve gradually, though high-risk states like California, Florida, and Texas will continue to rely on the E&S market 🏠 ✔️ Technology and AI will play a larger role in underwriting and shopping, enabling more granular pricing for insurers and changing how consumers understand their coverage options 📱 Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/enxTm4Af
